@phillysoccerpg I didn’t skip lunch, but it was light big fan of wengers game. Good player.

This was the only tweet from a player post game
Happy to get my first start of the season but disappointed in today’s result. Just a little bit more and we will get it right. Still believe — Michael Lahoud (@MikeLahoud) March 29, 2015
PSP readers had slightly more to say…
@phillysoccerpg blue center strip instead of stars = instant fix

@phillysoccerpg The worst taker ever…WHY???
— Black Hand (@BlackHand75) March 29, 2015
The @PhilaUnion deployed their “prevent offense”. #CHIvPHI @phillysoccerpg #DOOP

Yes RT @phillysoccerpg Watching Mbolhi behave smugly towards his teammates when he should be organizing them has already worn extremely thin

@phillysoccerpg When does Marquez get a shot?
— Michael Joseph Rullo (@MichaelRullo) March 29, 2015
@phillysoccerpg it would be great if the team knew
— John McHale (@johnmchale10) March 29, 2015
@phillysoccerpg It’s almost like they’re covering for not being very good.
— Peter Dyer (@handsome_pete) March 29, 2015
@phillysoccerpg did any of them even show up to practice this week?
— Matt Kirkpatrick (@MattKirk3622) March 29, 2015
@phillysoccerpg MLS gametracker still says ugly union effort.
— Jack Mahon (@ActualJackMahon) March 29, 2015
@phillysoccerpg This team won’t make the playoffs w/o serious signings this summer. Winger, midfield depth, CB.
— Michael Joseph Rullo (@MichaelRullo) March 29, 2015
I feel like the Union just hold their breath every time they are in the attacking third #justbreathe @phillysoccerpg @PhilaUnion
— Ryan Dietz (@theDietz13) March 29, 2015
@phillysoccerpg I give. Weeping. No more Koolaid for me.
— staci klemmer (@msklem) March 29, 2015
@phillysoccerpg What an absolute fool. I am stunned that a veteran player would do something like that.
— plumberjack intern (@BrandonJawnson) March 29, 2015
@phillysoccerpg Don’t mess with Grandpa! (I have to try to find humor…it’s all that’s left.)
— John Shields (@peppwave) March 29, 2015
@phillysoccerpg The team is terribly undisciplined.
— Ben Tenaglia (@BenTangles) March 29, 2015
@phillysoccerpg unleashing his inner Stevie Gerrard. This team is not good. #Doop ????
— DLay75 (@DylanLay75) March 29, 2015
@phillysoccerpg Why not? What is the downside at this point? Being embarrassed? Been there, done that…

And 2 players with MLS experience to choose from. “@phillysoccerpg: Just over 10 minutes to go. Curtin still has two subs in his pocket.”

Hahahahahaha – thats a good one! “@phillysoccerpg: Twellman wants the Union to go buy a superstar. Good luck with that.”
— John Creek (@JohnACreek) March 29, 2015
@PhilaUnion @phillysoccerpg I think white should stay on the bench and let Marquez get some minutes.
— Kyle Raguz (@agagagragu) March 29, 2015
@phillysoccerpg y’know, i was just thinking the same thing…
— Brian B. (@solardrum) March 29, 2015
@phillysoccerpg my wife is sitting next to me saying the same thing!
— Philip Schwarz (@peschwarz) March 29, 2015
@phillysoccerpg I’m just about there. I’m certainly done spending any money on them.
— Bling Crosby (@grayflannelsuit) March 29, 2015
@phillysoccerpg my wife: how can you care about this team?
— John Creek (@JohnACreek) March 29, 2015
“@phillysoccerpg: embarrassing for the Union Shipp danced through 3 defenders & nearly set up Stephens for a 2nd.”@PhilaUnion @PhilaUnion

Ayuk has looked lively the only 8 minutes that he was given @phillysoccerpg
— Ryan Dietz (@theDietz13) March 29, 2015
@phillysoccerpg so unbelievably bad. And the White foul to set up the free kick (CHI goal) was so so needless.
— Billy Eager (@benafflaco) March 29, 2015
@phillysoccerpg Hard to watch this team and have any sort of good time. Not even that interested in going to games. Hard to say.
— plumberjack intern (@BrandonJawnson) March 29, 2015
@phillysoccerpg cant even get a ball no where near the goal
— Austin (@AustinDB34) March 29, 2015
@phillysoccerpg his sour relationship with his CB’s is killing us! Its like he wants them to fail..
— Steven Wilson (@ASonOfBen0699) March 30, 2015
It’s dark in the @phillysoccerpg comments. 🙁 sorry #doop brothers

Austin’s Asian adventure continues
Probably reaching a bit here but @ChipotleTweets any chance ya franchising in South Korea soon?? #craving — Austin Berry (@aberr22) April 1, 2015
“…Prevent Offense”…that’s the winner, for me.
Hops with the killer headgear – doesn’t really match the team jacket, though!
